CRNA school admissions can feel like guesswork until you hear how faculty break it down in real time. We sit down with Dr. Matthew Harmon, a CRNA educator and admissions leader (and assistant program director at the University of Evansville), for an Instagram Live Q and A packed with the kind of specifics applicants crave: what actually makes a competitive application, how to prepare for tough interview formats, and what “goo...
We break down the real difference between ventilation and oxygenation and explain why mixing them up leads to bad reads on ETCO2, SpO2, and ABGs. Then we open the floor for live Q and A on CRNA admissions, interviews, prerequisites, and ways to strengthen an application.
• Ventilation as a mechanical process moving air and clearing CO2
• How we measure ventilation with tidal volume, respiratory rate, minute ventil...
Ready for a real look inside CRNA admissions and the evolving practice of anesthesia? We invited Dr. Michelle Ballister—CRNA of 18 years, former admissions chair, and longtime educator—to share what truly moves the needle for applicants and what today’s anesthesia landscape demands from new clinicians. She pulls back the curtain on how committees segment GPAs (cumulative, science, prerequisite), why repeats aren&r...
Pressors save lives, but only when they match the real problem. Dr. Matthew Harmon joins us to decode how norepinephrine, phenylephrine, and vasopressin change vascular tone, cardiac output, and organ perfusion—and how to pick the right one under pressure.
We start with a crisp hemodynamic framework: MAP as the product of cardiac output and SVR, and stroke volume shaped by preload, contractility, and afterload. From ther...
Ready for a clear, candid roadmap to CRNA school? Dr. Newman, a 21-year CRNA and seasoned admissions educator, takes over the mic to answer your toughest questions about applications, interviews, and the realities of nurse anesthesia training.
If you’ve wondered whether to retake sciences, how much shadowing truly matters, or why your CCRN score (not just the pass) can shift your odds, this session gives yo...

A still body can hide a restless mind. We take you inside the judgment calls that separate safe care from silent suffering, breaking down why sedation must come before paralysis, how to pick the right agent for the job, and what real monitoring looks like when movement disappears.
Featuring CSPA faculty coach and Assistant Program Director at the University of Evansville Dr. Matthew Harmon, DNP, CRNA, tune in as we map the cor...
Getting into CRNA school can feel overwhelming, especially when you start comparing GPA requirements and wondering what’s really “good enough.” Maybe you’re asking yourself, Do I need to retake science classes for CRNA school?
